🚨 SOUTH AFRICANS, WAKE UP 🇿🇦
“We Buy Cars” is straight-up robbing us blind ‼️

Took my 2021 Hilux to them last week. Trade-in value R420k, their “expert” offered R295k. "Cash in 30 mins they said", yeah, cash for their new yacht‼️I sold my bakkie privately for R410k within 4 days of advertising it privately.

They prey on desperate sellers with their fancy ads and “we’ll beat any offer” lies‼️

Don’t get scammed like the rest of us. Sell your vehicle privately‼️

If you've been scammed by WeBuyCars too, tell us your story, so we can warn others before they fall into the same trap‼️

South African households are coming under increasing financial pressure, with many now turning to their retirement savings to stay afloat. Early data shows a sharp rise in withdrawals from the two-pot retirement system as the new tax year began in March.

[WATCH] The country's major banks are facing a legal challenge over repossessed home sales. Homeowners are challenging how repossessed homes are sold when they fall behind on their mortgage payments. They argue that banks often sell homes for prices close to the outstanding bond amount rather than their market value. The applicants want the matter certified as a class action and are seeking damages. @ZinikokaMhlaba has been keeping close watch of those developments.

[Newzroom Afrika @Newzroom405]

A massive class action of over R60 billion is on the cards against the country's commercial banks. Home owners who have lost their homes for various reasons, which include non-payment of bonds , are taking the banks to court. They say they have been unfairly treated by the banks which sold their homes for a fraction of the value. @ZinikokaMhlaba has more.

Gambling surged to R1.5 trillion in the 2024/25 financial year. The rise was driven by easy online access, weak controls and growing participation among young people. Sibongile Simelane Quntana from the South African Responsible Gambling Foundation says stronger protections are needed, warning that gambling advertising remains the biggest problem.

In the year 2000, R100 bought you 769 kWh of electricity. Today, the same R100 barely gives you 27 kWh. In 2010, R100 bought 238 kWh.

Eskom may be stabilising on paper, but the cost of electricity has become completely unreasonable.

Households are paying the price for years of failure, inefficiency, and mismanagement. This level of pricing is not sustainable and cannot be justified to ordinary South Africans.

[Newzroom Afrika @Newzroom405]

[WATCH] Reserve Bank Governor Lesetja Kganyago says proposed changes to how banks calculate interest rates could lower borrowing costs. Currently, banks add 3.5% points to the repo rate to set the prime lending rate. But banks often add more to this rate depending on the client's risk profile.

#StopFakeHoney | 🍯 There’s No Such Thing as “Honey-Based Syrup.”

It’s simple:
🐝If it’s real honey, it’s 100% honey;
🐝If it’s mixed with sugar or syrup, it’s not honey.

“Honey-Based Syrup” is just syrup pretending to be honey, and it misleads consumers and harms honest beekeepers.

Always read the label and choose real honey. Let’s protect our health and support genuine producers.
